Court of the Desert
I am a girl
From the provinces of Afghanistan.
From Ghor, Faryab, Baghlan.
I am a girl
From the provinces of Afghanistan.
From Ghor, Faryab, Baghlan.
I prefer to learn in a school rather than in a tent
And I prefer to learn in a tent rather than no tent and no school
It is the way of life
I am a simple girl
With no makeup, lipstick or short clothes
I follow our religious laws
All our lives pass with taking care of someone, so it is important to attend to ourselves when we can.
Remembering Nowruz
I see a smile on my face
A light in my eyes
Strength in my heart
Bamiyan has now become an example of how the situation in Afghanistan is worsening and I want the American troops to help our armies.
I repeat to myself
no, no, no…
This is not a well of darkness;
it is a colorful garden
with different trees
various fruits
and I have unique responsibilities
When will this fighting end? When will we taste the sweetness of peace?
